Getting to be c common scam technique with the Indian and Pakistani IRS scammers.  Call you up and pretend to be a policeman.  Absurd thing to do, but I guess some people fall for it.  Local law is NEVER involved in IRS tax disputes and the IRS has NO authority to call on local law for anything.  If LE is necsssary, US marshalls do the job. Ignore and block the calls.

Total scam.  Originates in either India or Pakistan.   Block and ignore.   DO NOT RETURN THE CALL!

I’m an Enrolled Agent with the IRS (Inactive). IRS does not initiate contacts by phone.  US mail only.   IRS does not file lawsuits.   Court action, if any is handled by the DOJ and all parties are entitled to legal assistance if it is a criminal matter.  But--tax disputes are for the most part civil matters.  90% of all IRS tax disputes are settled administratively.  IRS has absolutely no authority to call on local law enforcement for anything. Local law is never involved in IRS tax disputes. IRS does not threaten to involve local law enforcement or to arrest you for nonpayment of federal taxes.  IRS has no powers of arrest.    If LE is necessary, US Marshals do the job.  IRS does not cold call anyone and demand immediate payment of  money.  IRS does not ask for financial information over the phone.   IRS does not accept Green card money paks for payment in any case.  No one is prosecuted for ordinary tax disputes. IRS has absolutely no authority over anyone's professional license. Professional licensing is handled by state governments.  Yes, levies on property to satisfy an existing tax obligation do occur, but only after a very long period of negotiation. And yes, liens are placed on individuals but  usually after a lot of negotiation and a failure to reach a settlement.    All determinations of tax liability are subject to appeals.  All  contacts by the IRS are initiated by US mail.

Got two voicemails yesterday, saying it was the IRS and lawsuit was being filed against me. Called the number back, it just rang a bunch. Then I found all the info on this site. They called again first thing this morning, I answered, I said " I know this is a scam! Quit calling me! "  The stupid guy hung up. Don't give out your personal info!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This number that everyone is getting calls from is a Washington phone number, not from another country.

They called at 7am automated voice said irs had lawsuit had warrant for my arrest,  my brother told me he had gotten the same call,  researched it also like I did, and found you kind fols! When I called it sure enough it was the mysterious indian man on the other line. Hung up and typed this out... total scam!!!

I did and all it did was ring and ring no answer no voicemail. Hmmm

Keep getting calls from someone claiming to be with IRS. Last call was before 6am and woke me up. He said the IRS had sent a warrant for my arrest.  I said "NO" and hung up.  He called back 5 minutes later with greater intensity that I needed to listen. The call came from 509-978-0597 which is in eastern Washington state.  He called again at 6:30 this morning while I was out walking my dog.

I saw the number they called from knew from the jump it was a scam.  I just wanted to see what they were saying and doing so I can call them back and mess with them
